I highlighted a bunch of them in the article Best Christmas iPhone Apps for Everyone, but there were plenty more that, for one reason ... Read More

Aside from its awkward title, LetsTans is pretty flawless, and a new favorite game of mine.

Unlike most tangram sets, mine wasn’t multicolored, with glaring reds and yellows, greens and blues; ... Read More

Ever hear of the game Portal? It’s a brilliant game by Valve, the creators of Half-Life, where you escape from a seemingly uninhabited, undisclosed government building with the aid of an exceptionally conceptualized Portal gun.

I did some holiday shopping yesterday, to add to my already increasing pile of presents for family and friends, the one I’ve dubbed Mount Presentrest for its jaw-dropping height, precipitous left side, and narrow, channeling gorges.

Before writing this, I fairly polished off the last quarter of a Trader Joe’s popcorn bag – that ridiculously good one with white cheddar and encased in a pretty, vintage carnival wrapper of salmon, pink stripes.
